games:

Guild Wars 2: Level 75! The level cap is 80 so I'm curious to see what the game's like once I hit that point. Overall still very much enjoying it, though the personal story, while enjoyable, fits a little awkwardly into the larger world. I visit a peaceful fort, enter the personal story, watch the fort get overwhelmed by zombies, make a hasty retreat...and exit the personal story into the same fort, just as peaceful as when I entered. And since there's no equivalent to Dragon Age's party banter etc the relationships seem very thin despite declarations of deep friendship from anyone you have enough adventures with. Also: too many zombies. I don't like zombies.

tv:
Sleepy Hollow: An episode behind but found the season opener very thrilling and enjoyable!

Gotham: ehhhh...it has potential but was kind of cheesy and meh. Having the people who would become poison ivy, cat woman, batman, the penguin, and the riddler all HAPPEN to be involved in the same case felt contrived. Have to see where they go from here.

anime:
Sailor Moon Crystal: still enjoying, though it's pretty flawed.

Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun: hilarious and charming to the end. Also MASSIVELY heteronormative, but, shoujo.

Day Break Illusion: cheesy and cutesy but also angsty, no thank you. (Yes I liked Madoka and Princess Tutu, but they worked for me and this didn't)

....and probably other things but this will do.

I've been meaning to check out Guild Wars 2 for years, but only recently got the relevant Mac OS and might still have put it off indefinitely if I hadn't seen an ad for a half price sale (now over)

And it's a lot of fun! Overall what it reminds me of most is Final Fantasy games. The MMO aspect hasn't affected me a lot but it is kind of cool seeing other people around.
